CHAPTER I. 



ARTICLE IV.

Soldiers and sailors of the United States 
Army, Navy or Marine Corps, who served be- 
tween April 1 2th, 1861, and April 9th, 1865, 
in the war for the suppression of the Rebel- 
lion, and those having been honorably dis- 
charged therefrom after such service, and of 
such State regiments as were called into act- 
ive service and subject to the orders of U. S. 
General Officers, between the dates mentioned, 
shall be eligible to membership in the Grand 
Army of the Republic. No person shall be 
eligible for membership who has at any time 
borne arms against the United States. 

CHAPTER II. 



ARTICLE I. 

Admission to Membership. 

Sec. I. Every application for admission to 
membership shall be in writing, and shall 



13 



give in detail, upon the blanks furnished by 
the National Headquarters, the applicant's 
age, birth-place, residence, occupation date 
and rank when entering the service, and his 
rank at the time of his discharge (or if still 
in the service, his present rank), the date and 
cause of his discharge, the company and regi- 
ment or ship to which he belongs or belonged, 
the length of time he served ; if wounded, 
when, in what engagement, in what manner 
and degree, and the fact of any previous ap- 
plication, and to what Post it was made. 

Sec. 5. If an applicant be rejected, his ad- 
mission fee shall be returned, and he shall not 
be eligible to admission to the Grand Army of 
the Republic until six months after such re- 
jection. He shall not be eligible to member-

a two-thirds vote, of the Post rejecting him. 
A second and all subsequent applications 
shall be in the same form and subject to the 
same conditions as the first. 

Sec. 7. Each applicant, upon his election, 
shall be at once notified thereof in writing, 
and on presenting himself for membership 
shall be properly mustered. 



14 



But unless he present himself for muster 
within three months from the date of such 
notice, his election shall be void, and all 
moneys which may have been required by the 
Post to accompany the application shall be 
forfeited to the Post treasury. 

The Commander-in-Chief, or a Department 
Commander, may, however, grant a dispensa- 
tion in any particular case to a Post to muster 
a candidate, even though he has 7iot presented 
himself for muster within three months after 
notice of election. 

ARTICLE III. 

Admission of Comrades from other Posts. 

Sec. I. A comrade having a valid transfer 
card may be readmitted to the Post which 
granted the same, by a two-thirds vote of the 
members present, and voting at a regular 
meeting, or he may be admitted to another 
Post after his name has been proposed, re- 
ferred and reported upon as in case of an ap- 
plicant for membership, and upon receiving a 
two-thirds vote of the members present and 
voting at a regular meeting, or he may be ad- 
mitted a charter member of a new Post 



Sec. 2. Each Post may establish such ad- 
mission fees, to be paid by comrades joining 
by transfer, as they may think proper, not ex- 
ceeding the amount required from recruits. 

ARTICLE IV. 

Sec. 3. Any comrade in good standing, on 
appHcation to the Post Commander at a regu- 
lar meeting, shall receive at some subsequent 
meeting an honorable discharge, signed by 
the Post Commander and attested by the Ad- 
jutant : Froviaed, That at the time of such 
application there are no pecuniary charges 
against him on account of the Post. A com- 
rade thus discharged can be readmitted by 
filing a new application, to be regularly re- 
ferred and reported on, and upon receiving a 
two-thirds vote of the members present, and 
voting at a regular meeting, he shall be ad- 
mitted without re-muster on taking anew the 
obligation. 

ARTICLE VII. 

Election of Officers. 

Sec. I. The Post officers (the Adjutant, 
Sergeant-Major and Quartermaster-Sergeant 



i6 



excepted) shall be elected at the first stated 
meeting in December by ballot, unless a bal- 
lot be dispensed with by unanimous consent. 
They shall be installed into their respective 
offices at the first stated meeting in January 
following. At the installation of officers the 
Post Commander shall appoint the Adjutant, 
and upon the recommendation of the Adju- 
tant and Quartermaster respectively, he shall 
also appoint the Sergeant-Major and the 
Quartermaster-Sergeant. They shall enter 
upon their duties at once, and all officers, 
whether elected or appointed, shall hold office 
until their successors are installed. And such 
installation may be conducted publicly at a 
special meeting to be held for that purpose, 
when no part of the opening or closing ser- 
vices or signs of recognition shall be used. 

Sec. 2. In case of a ballot for officers, a 
majority of all the votes cast shall be neces- 
sary to a choice. If there is no election on 
the first two ballots, the name of the comrade 
receiving the lowest number of votes shall be 
dropped, and so on in successive ballots until 
an election is made. 

Sec. 3. Posts may fill any vacancy in their 



17 



offices at any stated meeting, notice of such 
contemplated action having been given at a 
previous meeting. A Post may, by a two- 
thirds vote, declare vacant the position of any 
officer who has absented himself for four con- 
secutive stated meetings, provided that notice 
has been duly given the delinquent officer, and 
notice of the intended action has been given 
to the members of the Post. 

ARTICLE IX. 

Rep reseniatives. 

Each Post shall, at the first stated meeting 
in December, annually elect, from its own 
members, representatives, and an equal num- 
ber of alternates, to the Department Encamp- 
ment, in the manner described in Chap. Ill, 
Art. 2. 

CHAPTER V. 



ARTICLE IV. 

Sec. 3. Any member of a Post who is six 
months in arrears in the payment of his dues 
shall be notified thereof in writing by the Post 



i8 



Quartermaster, and if the same are not paid 
within two months thereafter he may be sus- 
pended from all privileges of membership by 
vote of the Post, and be then so reported in 
the quarterly reports to department headquar- 
ters until such dues are paid- While so sus- 
pended the Post shall not be subject to the 
per capita tax on such member, and he shall 
not be counted in the representation of the 
Post in the Encampment of the Department, 
nor of the Department in the National En- 
campment. Provided, however^ That when a 
comrade is unable, by reason of sickness or 
misfortune, to pay his dues, they must be re- 
mitted by a two-thirds vote of the members 
present and voting at a stated meeting of the 
Post. 

Sec. 4. If a member of a Post shall be one 
year in arrears for dues, he shall be notified 
thereof in writing by the Post Quartermaster, 
and on failure for two months thereafter to 
pay such dues, he may, by vote of the Post, 
be dropped from the rolls, unless relieved 
from such payment, and can be reinstated 
only by the Post which dropped him by a two- 
thirds vote, by ballot, of all the members 
present and voting at a stated meeting, upon 



19 



payment of a sum to be prescribed by By- 
Laws of the Post, said sum not to be less 
than the amount charged for muster-in fee. 
If elected he shall be re-obligated : Provided, 
That he may be re-obligated in any Post 
within whose jurisdiction he may reside, upon 
the written request of the Post reinstating 
him. Application for reinstatement shall be 
made by filing a new application, to be regu- 
larly referred and reported on. If the Post 
from which a member in arrears has been 
dropped has been disbanded, he may make 
application to another Post. A comrade 
dropped as aforesaid, whose application for 
reinstatement has been rejected, upon pay- 
ment to the Quartermaster of the Post which 
dropped him of the amount of his dues at the 
date of being dropped, shall receive from the 
Quartermaster a receipt therefor, stated as 

dues of Comrade • , dropped and refused 

reinstatement, and such Comrade may make 
application, as provided in Art. II., Chap. 2, 
of these regulations, accompanied by the re- 
ceipt aforesaid, to another Post, and may be 
admitted to membership upon payment of the 
muster fee and being mustered in as a recruit. 
If the applicant be rejected he may apply 



20 



again after a lapse of six months. His name 
is not to be published. — Res. Nat. Encamp- 
ment, 1880. 

Sec. 5. The provisions of Sections 3 and 4 
of this article shall not apply to any Comrade 
in the service of the United States, and on 
duty at a distance from the Post of which he 
is a member.
